Fictitious play property of the Nash demand game

Author

  • In, Younghwan

Abstract

We show that the Nash demand game has the fictitious play property. We also show that almost every fictitious play process and its associated belief path converge to a pure-strategy Nash equilibrium in the Nash demand game.
